Over the next couple of months, this blog will be focused on construction progress and our product selections. Building a house involves a ton of decisions, as I've mentioned earlier (land, plan, and contractor). Now we're onto materials!
This past Friday we went to the Boral Brick Showroom to look at our brick choices. We walked in at 4:20, with both boys in tow. Because we knew the store was about to close at 4:30, we cut to the chase with the salesman and explained we needed to select a brick for the foundation and chimney of a farmhouse. We wanted something that had a rough face, varied in color, and looked like it would have been used a long time ago. The salesman immediately pointed out two samples, Scarlet Oak (below left) and Autumn Blend (below right).
Then he explained we also have to decide our brick size, modular (above left), princess (above right) or queen (not pictured).
We're committed to making our decisions and moving forward, rather than lolly-gagging around and over-analyzing our choices. So we decided on the Autumn Blend brick. We'd like to use the princess size (Perry is checking on the load capacity for that size and will let us know). Now if all of our future choices will be this easy!
